Putting St Patrick's Day into Perspective

Today is the Holy day so it is. I wasn't going to comment on it this year because I'm just not feeling it so I thought I'd review some Irish Traditions just so we all know what the day is supposed to be all about. It's not supposed to be about getting pissed drunk. It's a day set aside to remember Irish history and tradition. It's a salute to the Holy land so it is.

Do you know what Tiocfaidh ár lá means? Do you know the song a Nation Once Again or The Town I Loved so Well? Do you know the real meaning behind The Lord of the Dance? Well wait till I tell ye. Tiocfaidh ár lá, pronounced Chuckie ar la, means our day will come. It's usually shouted while throwing a stone, brick or petrol bomb at some invincible enemy like David and Goliath. However, it's more like the final spear of the Spartan in the movie 300. A final f*ck you before being destroyed just to say I still disagree right to the end recording your dissent.

In fact the song A Nation Once Again cites that heroic last stand. It is a rebel song mourning the loss of the nation, longing for the day when Ireland will one day be reunited. The Town I Loved so Well refers to Derry. The Lord of the Dance is an old hymn referring to Jesus Christ.

Sky Pilot in the Snow

I snowshoed up Sky Pilot today from the top of the Sea to Sky Gondola. It was an awesome hike. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the trail was groomed half way up. After that it was very steep but reasonably packed. I didn't summit but I made it to the foot of the summit. In the winter the trail goes up the back of the mountain. In the summer the trail goes up the other side.

Political Greed in Canada

I'm going to keep hammering home the fact that there is a new movement rising within Canada. It addresses greed and corruption on the right as well as the left. Last night I had a very disturbing conversation with Jarup Brar on a telephone town hall meeting he hosted. I was shocked and dissappointed to hear him promoting a Neo Con lie. Who fed him the poison kool aid?

Brian Mulroney had his Airbus and the GST. Stephen Harper had his insider trading jets and the HST. They were both conflicted. The Oliphant Commission concluded that Brian Mulrony acted in an inappropriate way when he accepted large amounts of cash from Karlheinz Schreiber over the airbus scandal which has just been resurrected with Airbus' recent acquisition of Bombardier. Details of the Mulroney fraud were itemized in Stevie Cameron's book On the Take: Crime, Corruption and Greed in the Mulroney Years.

No doubt Stevie Cameron could write a sequel about Crime, Corruption and Greed in the Harper era. Lockheed Martin is as dirty as SNC-Lavalin. Boeing is a much better business model.

Fast forward to 2018. Like Mulroney and Harper, Dianne Watts and Linda Hepner have their own insider trading scam: the LRT. Light Transit is for rural areas not dense city centres.



There is talk about Surrey being the city of the future. Locals have amended that motto to read Surrey: The Future Dies Here because of the Dianne Watts / Linda Hepner fraud. Reverting 104th Avenue to a single lane of traffic in either direction with an on ground train ruining down the middle is not progress. It is an obscene fraud that takes massive amounts of tax dollars and puts it into he hands of campaign contributors just like they did at Campbell Heights.

Right now the bus ride between Surrey Place Mall and Guildford is a problem free five minute ride. The status quo functions perfectly. Surrey Blogger Laila Yuile pointed out the problem is between Surrey Place and Newton. That is where the problem lies. If you want to extend Skytrain to Newton feel free but don't waste billions of tax dollars on a project we don't want or need just so your campaign contributors can get rich at taxpayers expense.

I did however have a very posative meeting with my MLA Gary Begg who I did vote for. He held an open house and met one on one with constituents. I overloaded him with about 30 issues at once but he was very knowledgeable about the problems outside the Front Room along 135A Street and many other issues that affect Surrey. His business card lists him as the Party Whip. Perhaps he will be able to convince the party to fix the BC Hydro Fraud Gordon Campbell created that Norm Farrell keeps talking about. Maybe they'll even bring back the OMGU.

Jagmeet Singh explains the history of religious persecution in India

The Globe and Mail ran a very interesting article by Jagmeet Singh about the history of religious persecution in India. It is indeed thought provoking. There is a lot of hype about terrorism.

We need to remember that CSIS provided the explosives for the Air India bombing and had an agent that helped plan that heinous attack. We need to remember that to put the fear and hype into perspective. Terrorism is bad. So is religious persecution. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Recently I made a blog post about a beautiful picture I saw in Guildford Mall of the Sikh Golden Temple in India. Ironically it was just after Justin Trudeau's visit. In Jagmeet Singh's recent article he talked about how the government of India attacked the Golden Temple in 1984 and destroyed it. I had no idea. Where was I in 1984? That was just before I went to New York.

ThoughtCo posted a timeline of the 1984 attack on the temple called Operation Blue Star and the Sikh Genocide by order of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. An injustice to one is an injustice to all. Taking up arms to defend religious freedom is justified. Blowing up innocent civilians is not.

Kim Bolan wrote a book about the Air India trial called Loss Of Faith: How The Air India Bombers Got Away With Murder. She failed to mention the fact that CSIS provided the explosives for that attack. That was reported by CBC and the RCMP. That's a pretty important detail to leave out. If there was no bomb, there would have been no attack. CSIS has yet to be tried for that murder.

Although CSIS is actively removing the original CBC documentary from Youtube The Globe and Mail also ran the same article: "Canada's spy agency did everything it could to keep the Air-India mass-murder case from coming to trial in order to cover up the involvement of an agent in the plot to blow up the airplanes, an RCMP officer says in newly released court documents."

In 2015 Conservative MP Wai Young admitted CSIS knew there was a bomb on the Air India plane that later exploded in midair, killing 329 people. He claimed the laws at the time prevented the Canadian Security Intelligence Service from telling the RCMP about the explosive device in June 1985. That is ridiculous. They were under a legal and moral obligation to tell the RCMP about the bomb. Then they erased wire tap evidence implicating them.

The Globe and Mail named Surjan Singh Gill as the CSIS agent that helped plan the attack. The Globe and Mail also confirmed that "A Sikh separatist suspected of being a CSIS mole in the Air-India conspiracy had the explosives and airline tickets with him shortly before two bombs were allegedly checked onto flights at the Vancouver airport, an RCMP officer stated in an affidavit."

ABC Reported that "Surjan Singh Gill was the founder of the so-called Khalistan consulate in Vancouver in 1981, and one of the first supporters of the Babbar Khalsa group. He allegedly became Parmar’s right-hand man in 1982, and Canadian agents tailed Gill as he escorted Parmar to a ferry terminal in 1985. Parmar was allegedly on his was way to see a bomb demonstration." Just like how CSIS used Grant Bristow to create the Heritage Front.

The Corbett Report confirms that Air India was a CSIS job. "How did Surjan Singh Gill have the ability to found the group that carried out the bombing, deliver the bombs, pull out of the plot just before it took place, get on the RCMP list of main suspects, and avoid even being brought before a court of justice?" CSIS can keep deleting articles from the Internet but truth crushed to the earth will rise again simply because no lie can live forever.

There is a New Movement Rising in Canada so there is.

Blaze the Teletubbies' meth head

Castanet is making reference to a recently released court decision regarding fly sh*t Donahue (Blaze) McWhirter. The decision claims "Police began surveilling fly sh*t in the spring of 2014, after receiving information from four confidential informants the Lake Country resident sold cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin in Kelowna."

"During their surveillance, police observed several interactions around Kelowna that looked like McWhirter was exchanging drugs with other individuals. On Oct. 20, 2014, police saw McWhirter meet with 10 to 14 Independent Soldiers or associates at Kelowna's Rusty's Pub, (Because he got his ass kicked in Liquid Zoo) after returning from the Lower Mainland earlier that day (having just supplied his meth head pal in Guildford that hacked up Shawn Clarys dead body). Kevin Irvine and Mark Pauls, two of the men McWhirter had met with, were pulled over by police after leaving the bar and found with five ounces of methamphetamine on them."

"Following Justice Davies ruling that the traffic stop and subsequent arrest did not violate the couple's constitutional rights, McWhirter pleaded guilty to possession of methamphetamine and MDMA for the purpose of trafficking, along with unlawful possession of a shotgun and rifle while he was prohibited. McWhirter remains out of custody on bail, but he's scheduled to be back before the courts on May 28 for a three-day sentencing hearing."

The shotgun and rifle were likely Joey Verma's since Joey was the hunter and the club wouldn't consider giving an idiot like Blaze a firearm. It was likely the shotgun they used slugs in to shoot Britney Irving in the back with. What do you think the odds are that lying spec of fly sh*t gets off again for cooperating with the Police? They sure know how to pick 'em.

Departures Season 3 now on Netflix

Well this is good news. Season 3 of Departures is now on Netflix. Departures is a travel show about two Canadian guys who travel around the world but they go off the beaten path and get an inside look at the various places they visit where the tourists don't normally go.

I like this series because they are respectful of local culture and traditions like Rick Steve's Europe. Justin's a bit of a drinker so everywhere they go they try the local alcohol. In Russia it was vodka vodka vodka. Anything in moderation I suppose. Relatively speaking.

Hamilton cop tipped off drug dealers in exchange for cash

The Toronto Star is reporting that "A suspended Hamilton police officer fed drug traffickers sensitive information and favours in return for cash payments, a Crown attorney said Monday during his opening address to a Toronto jury. Craig Ruthowsky, a former member of the Hamilton Police Service’s guns and gangs unit, has pleaded not guilty to obstruct justice, bribery, breach of trust, trafficking and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence." Sounds like BC.

A New Movement Rising in Canada

There's a new movement rising in Canada. Thomas Mulcair saw it but Justin Trudeau didn't and Stephen Harper never grasped it. It represents a reawakening of the Age of Reason that Preston Manning launched before he and Harper dropped the ball and reunited with Mulroneyism. Chuck Cadman was Reform until he was screwed over by Harper. After that he was an independent.

In response to the crime, corruption and greed of the Mulroney government, Preston Manning created the Reform Party and launched a Ron Paul Revolution in Canada that revolted against pork barrel politics demanding fiscal responsibility and balanced budgets. These ideals swept Western Canada but died in Ontario who saw it as a separatist movement because they couldn't see the forest through the trees.

Realizing they couldn't make the changes they wanted unless they formed government, they merged with the very criminals they originally set out to correct just so they could take office. When they did take office the original ideals of the Reform Party went out the window. Fiscal responsibility was lost and was once again replaced with insider trading, pork barrel tax and spend politics then launched an attack on civl liberty and the Charter of Rights.

The Reform party pledged to hold referendums to survey public opinion. Stephen Harper did the exact opposite. He spent massive amounts of tax dollars on advertising to mold public opinion.

Nevertheless, people still want fiscal responsibility. People still want politicians to stop wasting money and lower taxes. The Neo Cons claim the left will tax and spend but they are the worse offenders. Brian Mulroney's tax and spend pork barrel politics was evidence of that. The left spends money on housing and the elderly. The Neo Cons spend it on themselves and their campaign contributors. The Light Rail disaster in Surrey is a prime example.

No one who lives in Guildford wants an on ground railway along 104th Avenue between Surrey Place and Guildford Mall. No one. Right now it's a problem free five minute bus ride. A LRT will create an infrastructure nightmare. Reverting 104th to a single lane of traffic in each direction is completely insane. 108th backs up in the late afternoons because it is two lanes with no left hand turning lanes. If someone wants to make a left turn, traffic becomes congested.

Making a left turn on 104th after a LRT is in place is exponentially worse. Not only do you have to wait for a break in oncoming traffic, you also have to look in your rear view mirror to see if a train is coming. It is structurally unsafe. People who drive cars prefer sky train because sky train does not impede traffic. People who drive cars should have a say because they pay Translink a billion dollars a year in a regional gas tax above and beyond federal and provincial gas tax. No private company would be allowed to continue and expand running a billion dollar deficit every year.

Who got the contract for the Evergreen Sky train line? SNC-Lavalin. That was a criminal act. Who makes LRT and makes campaign contributions to the federal Liberals and Conservatives? SNC-Lavalin. Do the math. The new movement that is rising in Canada opposes this kind of political corruption and demands politicians stop wasting tax dollars and start becoming fiscally responsible. Giving billions of tax dollars to dirty construction companies that under bid and over charge contracts while giving a kickback to the politicians in the form of campaign contributions has to end. No lie can live forever. Tunnel fear mongering is false.



It's pretty sad when the NDP support small business more than the Neo Cons do. The Neo Cons claim they support small business and a free market but they do not. They support corporate monopolies that destroy the free market and consumer taxes that kill small business. Welcome to the New world Order where the Left is Right and the Right is Left leaving behind the principles they claim to uphold. Corporate Communism is bad. Civil Liberty is good.

Mike Smyth has lost his mind

Clearly Mike Smyth has lost his mind and his conscience. He's the Dianne Watts lapdog that took over for Alex Tsakumis. We have already exposed his Gordon Wilson fraud but he refuses to concede and continues to rant like a raging lunatic. This guy needs some professional help.

Bruce Ralston is a well respected MLA in Surrey. Bruce has been active in his community and reelected as a MLA for many many years. After the last election the NDP started to clean house. They saw Gordon Wilson's exuberant salary advocating for natural gas to be a waste of tax dollars and it clearly was. I support natural gas because it is clean burning. However you don't have to pay someone $12,500 a month to say that.

That job was a sweetheart appointment. He got it after his wife wrote a book promoting Christy Clark. Before that Gordon Wilson and his wife Judy were in a financial bind because of their own defamation in another case they lost in court. It's a toxic cesspool really.

Which makes us wonder why Mikey lapdog would even consider opening that can of worms. Why bring more attention to the Gordon Wilson fraud? Does he really think the public is that stupid? Evidently he does. Just another credibility meltdown in a day of Post Media News.

Saskatoon Police warn of cocaine laced with fentanyl

'

The Saskatoon Star Phoenix is reporting that "A man and a woman are dead and four other people have been hospitalized for drug overdoses, the Saskatoon Police Service said in a media release on Sunday evening. Police have arrested three men and they face drug trafficking-related charges. Police have also issued a public safety advisory. They are warning anyone who may have purchased cocaine from a drug dealer named “Lil Joe” or “Joe Bro” or have contacted a dealer with the number 306-881-7300, that the drug they purchased could be laced with fentanyl. Police say the dosage of fentanyl in the drug may be lethal."

OK so this is new. The Saskatoon Police recognize when a drug dealers sells someone cocaine and laces it with fentanyl without telling the buyer, that is morally wrong. For them to name the drug dealer and post his phone number is new. Saskatoon has been hit with a surge in fentanyl fatalities like everywhere else because the drug dealers want to get addicts addicted to fentanyl so they can make more money. As a result, Saskatoon Police are considering murder charges.

Compare that to BC where the police do nothing. A local nurse named Leanne Yardley bought a line of cocaine from a drug dealer in a local Hells Angels strip bar named Shakerz and died because it was straight fentanyl. There was no cocaine in it. When we broke that story the police here did absolutely nothing. They did not name her or the bar she bought the drugs from.

After we broke the story a Doctor of Death from Fraser Health said "In addition, people report taking a variety of drugs including, but not limited to heroin, crack cocaine, COCAINE, amphetamines, ecstasy and GHB. At this time, we are warning people that all drugs may be contaminated with lethal substances."

Parents of overdose victims complained that the police here refused to charge the fentanyl dealers with anything at all. This obscene abandonment of the Four Pillars program which has seen harm prevention turn into harm promotion has seen Surrey and Vancouver have the highest overdose death rate in the world. This is not a successful model for anyone else to follow. It is a lethal fog of fraud that has choked reason unconscious from the public's mind.

If a drug dealer sells drugs laced with fentanyl arrest them. Enforcement is a crucial element of the Four Pillars program. That is the New York model. That is the model I support. Harm promotion is not what the Portugal model was about. The Portugal model was about treatment. Something we refuse to implement here in metro Vancouver because except for Price Pro, all our local detox are flop houses for addicts to do drugs. Drug dealers are selling drugs at detox centres. We need to arrest the drug dealers so those who want treatment can get it.

I ill note that if anyone is putting fentanyl in cocaine in Saskatoon it is highly likely it is someone who works for the Hells Angels. Stop the greed.
